It's not complete overkill - we're not talking about a $400 top-of-the-line moneysink here - but it may be more power than the OP needs. Your GPU needs are primarily based upon whatever resolution you're running at. Someone piping their video to a 720p HDTV won't need a 5770, but someone using a 1900x1200 LCD monitor definitely will.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
